sec_rgy_attr_cursor_alloc — Allocates resources to a cursor used by sec_rgy_attr_lookup_by_id

Synopsis

void sec_rgy_attr_cursor_alloc(

cursorA pointer to a sec_attr_cursor_t. 

statusA pointer to the completion status.  On successful completion, the call returns error_status_ok.  Otherwise, it returns an error. 

Description

The sec_rgy_attr_cursor_alloc() call allocates resources to a cursor used with the sec_rgy_attr_lookup_by_id call.  This routine, which is a local operation, does not initialize cursor. 

The sec_rgy_attr_cursor_init() routine, which makes a remote call, allocates and initializes the cursor.  In addition, sec_rgy_attr_cursor_init() returns the total number of attributes attached to the object as an output parameter; sec_rgy_attr_cursor_alloc() does not. 

Permissions Required
